Candover Brook Rosé

Description

Why we love it
An elegant, refined sparkling rosé from an exciting new name on the English wine scene, Hampshire’s Candover Brook.

Tasting notes
Vivid pink in colour. On the nose, lively aromas of fresh strawberry, cranberry and toasted brioche. On the palate, a creamy mouthfeel and bold mousse are tempered by the wine’s mouth-watering acidity and vibrant purity of fruit.

Food pairing
A great match with soft cheeses or seafood/vegetable fritto misto.

Additional information
The grapes were hand harvested, whole-bunch pressed and vinified in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to retain their youthful fruit character. A fraction of the wine underwent malolactic fermentation. Base wines from the 2018 vintage were blended with 15% reserve wines from a solera dating back to 2011, resulting in additional aromatic complexity. After bottling, the wine was aged for over 27 months on the lees.

The blend is 54% Chardonnay, 33% Pinot Noir and 13% Pinot Meunier.
